In Rocky 2 his eyesight is so bad he has to fight right handed from his usual southpaw. Yet in Rocky 3 onwards there is no mention of the bad eye and he continues to fight southpaw.
Stallone robbed a living.

Plus he can't actually box for crap, was watching Rocky II the other night how the ref doesn't stop the fight is beyond me, there is a good one minute were Apollo is just wailing into him and Rocky is not defending himself at all. Any Ref in his right mind would TKO that. I know he mentions it to him when earlier in the fight after a similar round but I agree no consistency. Great films though. Looking forward to the new one

I like the way the ref allows them to punch the head off someone who is kneeling down like Mr.T does to his opponents in Rocky 3. I alao like how the ref is ok with wrestling moves and throwing people around the ring.
Oh yes Creed 2 is out in November. Creeds son versus Drago's son who according to tabloid reports is being played by Roy Maurice Keane. |

I'm hoping for a Rocky vs Drago rematch Street fight like Rocky V when the Apollos son and Drago's son are beating the crap out of each other. both Creed Jr and Rocky is getting absolutely pummeled until the ghost of Apollo turns up to save and encourage them by signing Eye of the Tiger

Hopefully Putin will make an appearancr in Creed 2 and realise his love of Russia is misguided and turns to Creed to help him end the current cold relations between Russia amd the west.

Well we all know that Rocky IV was responsible for the end of Soviet Union

Rocky was a horrible fighter up until Apollo took over from Mickey, serious question marks over Mickey’s training.

He was a bit like MON in that he liked the old ways. Chasing chickens around the yard for speed which the Irosh team still do today.

I remember as a kid going to see Rocky IV in the Ambassador Cinema in Dublin. It got a standing ovation at the end
Also, an honorable mention has to go to the song lyric "is it east versus west or man against man". |

Also, in Rocky Balboa Carl Weathers only agreed for his footage to be used if he could have a role in the film. This all being despite his character died in IV
So Stallone and Co couldnt use original footage and had to simulate it or something like that

Maybe it was Creed. But anyway, Carl Weathers is nuts.

I've always heard Carl Weathers was a bit of an arsehole this proves it. He supposedly nearly walked of set after Dolph Lundgren punched him too hard. think he almost quite Predator too as he was unhappy with the working conditions.
